White & Nerdy Video Discussion

You know what's strange? Al's parody videos are usually very similar to the original video. And, well, I just watched the ridin' video and I didn't see any extras at all.
see for yourself: http://wheels.imeem.com/video/hhIQxZX_/ridin/

the only thing I can think of would be Al wanting people walking on the street/riding in cars.

I'm afraid the only requirement I can meet here is that I would be willing to work for free.

Darn age/geography.

Ridin, sorry. Ak, you're right. Just chalk it up to a flood of info and me not thinking right

But in another blog entry, Al said that they already shipped everthing off to be pressed.

I'm 16 and a half, but I could easily pass off as an 18 year old and I have plenty of family in the LA area, so I could do it, if I wanted to lie about my age, but that wouldn't be right...

And, to think, I have the white and nerdy rapper look going for me already

Oh well...this would be such a great oppertunity. I can't believe Al is actually doing this. I'd definitely reserve the next first class, one way ticket to LA to do this.

Oh well...perhaps he'll be doing the same thing in 2 years.

I wouldn't try to do too much -- just look like you, and make sure the shot is tight in on your head, and nothing too busy going on in the background.

OK, you're right. Nevermind

This is a pretty rare oppurtunity to be sure...I think the Usher video, if Yeah is the parody, is the only other one that has extras and that may not even be the second video if there is one.

There is some minor discussion about the blog entry in the Al's Myspace topic, but I guess getting into particulars is why this topic exists. Darn being too old and too far away, anyway!! I, too, would work for Al for free. Man, this is such a huge opportunity for Al's younger, hometown fans. I'm excited about this!

Yeah, I don't think Al's looking for anything particular. Any white & nerdiness is something that'd be taken care of after the casting call.
